I thought each coach must request a timeout to get their player back in. And the timeouts are served concurrently. I'm looking for clarification on this.

Yes, each coach must request a time-out to keep their player in. (3-7 Notes).

If both coaches elect to use a time-out, they will run together.

If one coach isn't going to use a time-out that player must be replaced before the time-out is granted to the other team. (3.3.7 Situation C)
